democrats, especially senate majority leader harry reid, had wanted a debt ceiling raise that would last beyond the next election to get us through the end of 2014. so the president has given ground on that. certainly republicans are aware that that is a -- for the democrats at least a significant opening and possibly an opening for them. you heard the public war words from house speaker john boehner saying that there is not going to be any deal, but on the other hand, the president keeps saying he's willing to negotiate. let me give you a quote. he says to them, extends the debt ceiling. if they can't do it for a long time, do it for a period of time during which negotiations take place. then the president went on to say something rather unusual. they can attach some process to that that gives them certainty that, in fact, the things they're concerned about will be topics of negotiation, and here are the keywords. if my word is not good enough. so in a town that has for generations operated on handshakes, the president is suggesting that maybe the opposite party won't believe him, and h

in a divided government you can't have it all your way. >> forgive me, your leader, harry reid said it was too generous to republicans and rejected it. >> we're waiting to see the leadership come back with something that maybe he believes is more fair. i don't know. we looked at it from the standpoint, they wanted to repeal the medical device tax. republicans wanted that. they compromised. they wanted oversight as far as people who were signing up for it. the bottom line is we don't want that to gut the bill. give obama care a chance to work. if it doesn't work, it will fall on its own. don't have the underlying motive to get rid of it. we're talking about finances of our country. we can talk about an energy policy, coal, what role it plays in the economy of the government, the energy we have. that's not the place for it. everybody wants to bring their social agenda to the table when we really should fixing the finances of this country. that's what bob and i have been working on. >> senator corker, majority leader harry reid late yesterday, along with other democratic leaders, went to
